We stayed 4 nights coming from Italy to visit some friends of us living nearby, and all we can honestly say is that everything was absolutely perfect. There is really not much else to say about it, Celia is a wonderful host, the room was very nice and confortable just as described. Breakfasts are GREAT (I tried the full English, which was excellent). The town centre has every facilities you can need and is really just 5 minutes walk from the house. I am sure we will consider staying again at Celia's when we will visit again some friends living nearby. Thank you!

Celia is an excellent host who went out of her way to ensure I had a comfortable stay. The breakfast she provided was great and everything is exactly how it is described and shown on the listing.

SusannaAugust 2016

Wow! Celia and Keith could not possibly have been more helpful from the first contact to the end. The room is lovely, quiet and the bed very comfortable. Everything I wanted was there. I would unhesitatingly recommend this listing to anyone. Many, many thanks for everything.

NickSeptember 2016

We stayed 4 nights and Celia is a very nice, friendly and hospitable host. Although we arrived late in the evening due to delays of our flight Celia was very flexible. We have to mention the delicious breakfast served and the great and comfortable room (good bed, very quiet and lots of additional stuff like towels, tea, water). Whenever we visit Saffron Waldon we try to book Celias room.

Situated 7 miles from Stansted Airport and close to the market towns of Bishops Stortford and Saffron Walden. Henham is a thriving Essex village with a lively local pub and village shop. The large double bedroom in our family home has views of our garden and fields beyond.

This comfortable and stylish room has plenty of storage space, a TV and lovely views over our garden and fields beyond. We provide water and tea and coffee making facilities in your room and a continental style breakfast is served in our dining room/conservatory. Guests have sole use of our large family bathroom with a bath and over bath shower. There is a smaller room available with a double bed so we can accomodate 4 adults or a family of 4. The house has an open staircase and bannisters and the garden has a pond so the property is not set up for guests with younger children.
Guests will have access to the house via our main front door and are welcome to enjoy our dining area, conservatory, garden and views. We are happy for guests to make drinks in the kitchen but not to prepare their own food.
Mark and I have lived in the area for over 30 years and will be available to meet and greet you and to give you any advice or recommendations about the local area, places to eat, transport and tourist attractions.

Henham is a fairly traditional Essex village surrounded by undulating arable farmland.The village itself has traditional thatched cottages, ponds and a thriving local community. The area is great for walking and cycling and there are a number of excellent local pubs, including The Cock Inn, in the the centre of the village overlooking the Church, which has a 4 star rating on Trip Advisor. Food is served here every day except for Sunday evenings. A fish and chip van stops opposite us on Friday evenings between 5 and 8pm. The Fleur de Lys in Widdington run by husband and wife team Chris and Ellie is also very welcoming and serves wonderful food. The Cricketers pub in Clavering is where Jamie Oliver learnt his culnery skills.
Henham is only 10 minutes away from Stansted Airport and a few moments away from Elsenham station which serves both London Liverpool Street and Cambridge. It takes around 10 minutes to drive to the M11. The market towns of Saffron Walden and Bishops Storford are 20 minutes away. The historic Audley End House is also nearby. There is a bus service to Elsenham station, the airport and nearby towns.
Our home is in a great position for guests flying to and from Stansted Airport. If this is the reason for your visit to the area, please provide more details in any communications and we may be able to arrange for a lift to and from the airport, look after your car etc. A taxi to the airport from the property is around £17.
Check in and time times can be flexible, depending on our work commitments.

Staying at Amanda and Mark's house was a great experience. They were both very welcoming and friendly. I highly recommend them, if you are communicative I wish I had more time to talk to them. Would book this again when visiting London via Stansted. Hope we will meet again! -Tom

Amanda andMark were perfects hosts; They are very very welcoming and caring; We recommend their nice house to everyone We thank them for their helpful behaviour; All was as the description;

MicheleNovember 2016

Our hosts greeted us so wonderfully. The house and gardens were so pretty. We enjoyed tea with our hosts in the conservatory after arrival with wonderful conversation. They were also very accommodating with breakfast and travel arrangements. Definitely great hosts and a delightful place to stay.

RejenaJuly 2016

First of all: It was better than one could ever expect. Amanda and Mark are extremely kind, nice, and open-hearted persons. They were happy about our attendance (two friends and me) and interested in our lives. Their house was cozy and we felt like being home. The rooms were clean, furnished with good style and the beds were extraordinarily comfortable. You do not need to bring anything for the bathroom because everything was already their which includes towels, shampoo, toothpaste and so forth – like in a hotel! Amanda and Mark helped us getting the right train tickets even though it was extra trouble for them at 11p.m. The breakfast offered everything that we wanted. Some days earlier Amanda even informed herself whether we were allergic against specific food and if we had wishes. We could not complain about anything! We would more like to give six stars than five stars! Keep going!

PatrickOctober 2016

Amanda was very welcoming and relaxed about our stay, making it very easy to accommodate us and feel at home. Rooms were large and beds were very comfortable - lovely host. Would definitely recommend this stay.

HelenSeptember 2016

Our family spent a night at Amanda's beautiful house and we had very good conversation with her and her husband, they are very nice and friendly. The house and rooms are very clean and comfortable, big bathroom, beautiful garden, nice scenery, what a pity we had only one day there, would definitely go back if we have chance. thank you very much

Our house is on the edge of historic Thaxted. It's a cosy but fresh house bordering a vast field, with a lovely garden and log cabin. There are two bedrooms and three bathrooms. Very clean, high spec and extremely comfortable. Driveway parking.

We, the Morton Potts family, are relaxed but well organised. We aim to make our guests feel welcome and comfortable, providing everything we can for optimum satisfaction.
Guests are welcome to use the sitting room and kitchen. You will have your own private bathroom. In the garden, guests are welcome to use the barbecue, sunloungers, deckchairs, rocking chair.
We are happy to offer advice and help to guests. Equally, when privacy is the stronger requirement, we quite understand.

Thaxted is an amazing town with a grand, 14th century church and beautifully restored windmill. Holst was born here and there is a two week festival of music each summer. Thaxted has its own Morris dancers who take to the streets when spring arrives. There are lovely pubs and restaurants, all within walking distance. Petrol station, convenience stores, hairdresser. We are 15 minutes from Stansted Airport, where you can travel by rail into London, and 50 minutes from Cambridge by car. Thaxted sits between Great Dunmow and Saffron Walden, both lovely towns and the landscape all around this unique part of West Essex is filled with thatched cottages and weatherboard houses in all shades of pastels.
Rail to central London from Stansted. There are trains hourly from the High Street to Stansted. And there is Pasha, our minicab driver who is a delight!
We have a dog and cats who are very friendly.

I felt very welcome and had a fantastic time with this lovely family and I slept extremely well in the comfy double bed. This is a new - build house on the edge of this beautiful ancient town and is a good base for exploring north Essex and Suffolk as well as being within a comfortable distance of Stansted airport. A torch is handy if walking back at night as there are no streetlights in the road yet.

louellaJune 2016

Philippa, Jenny and Flint made me very welcome in their comfortable and clean home on the edge of town. We shared some stimulating conversation and discussed our love for music and the arts. I would definitely stay again if I'm in the area . Thank you.

StuartJune 2016

Philippa and Jenny are great hosts, being friendly, relaxed and organised. They have lovely accommodation with a comfortable double bedroom and well equipped bathroom for guests use. Philippa was very responsive and considerate of our needs when we enquired. Their house is well located within an easy walk of Thaxted High Street, and has views over the countryside. There is a little noise from the planes landing at Stansted a few miles away, but it is not very intrusive and you soon get used to it. Merlot the dog pretends to be a guard dog, but really just wants to be stroked and made a fuss of! We stayed three nights and would recommend Oliver's as a place to stay in this part of north Essex. Finally, the breakfast spread was very impressive and we felt we could hardly do justice to it, and our hosts were happy to provide a 'takeaway' breakfast for those who weren't quite ready for it first thing. Thanks again, Peter

ThomasSeptember 2016

Philippa was an excellent host and made our stay a good experience.

MartinAugust 2016

Prior to the visit communications were very good. The house and room are very clean with immaculate furniture (it is a new build house with new furniture). The bed was very comfortable and the house is in a quiet neighbourhood so I had a very good nights sleep. Bedroom also has its own TV. I also had exclusive use of a bathroom & shower which was down the hall. I had a good continental breakfast (cereal plus choice of bread & croissants), and as it was a nice morning was invited to join the family outside to eat in the garden. The family is very friendly, and I felt at ease. I would visit again if I needed a room in that area.

RogerMay 2016

Philippa and Jenny and their pets were very welcoming and easy to talk to. The house is at the edge of beautiful Thaxted right next to a huge field, a peaceful and sunny place. Everything we needed for us and our motorbikes was there including a delicious breakfast. An inviting and friendly household which we highly recommend! Ruth and Steve

Clear, concise directions made it easy to find and I was warmly welcomed by the hostess who immediately offered me a hot drink.

We were welcomed by Pete on arrival who gave us all the necessary info. The barn is absolutely lovely and perfect for an overnight stay before flying from stansted airport. We would definitely use again.

Peter's place was exactly what we were looking for in our stay while waiting for a flight out of Stansted the following day. It is private, comfortable and well equipped with everything a weary traveler would like to have. Peter was a great host and Wendy was very helpful even though we didn't meet in person. They went above and beyond what is expected of airbnb hosts. Highly recommended and we will definitely call again!

The Croft Barn was absolutely charming! Clean, Spacious, and stocked with everything we would need. The bed was comfy and it wasn't far from the airport or the lovely pub where we had dinner that evening. Our hosts were warm and welcoming. We will totally be back!

Peter was welcoming in his messages and responded to our call re directions. He even got up on Sunday morning to say goodbye. Overall we enjoyed our stay.. ideal for flying off from Stansted. Lots of character in this accommodation together with modcons and a lovely village pub 5 mins away.

AnneOctober 2016

Peter was warm, welcoming and very accommodating. The barn was a gem. Inside were all the mod cons and home comforts one could need and it's beautiful. The nearby village of Standsted Mountfitchet was also lovely and worth a visit (situated 5 mins stroll away). We would return without hesitation!

I have not met Peter.I have arrived rather late and left very early following morning. Despite of the above the communication was very good. The room was a great space to relax. All was very tastefully arranged and very lovely to look at. A real pleasure. I am going to book again for sure at least to meet Peter and see/read the books :-)

We had a very nice stay ! Pete's place is easy to find, no trouble to park at all, really close to Stansted Airport... We had a lovely supper at the Bombay indian restaurant down the road.

I like Valerie! She greeted me with a big smile and was not at all perplexed by my later than expected arrival time - the M11 ... grrr! As I was the only guest that evening, Valerie gave me the choice of 2 rooms. I chose the room overlooking the sheep field! I walked into town for a meal and set lkea log! Thank you!

Situated 1 mile up a quite country lane. The B&B is all one level, no steps or stairs. Cereals, bread milk etc provided, if you require cooked please specify on booking
Close to Saffron Walden an old Market Town, Cambridge and Newmarket are 40 minutes drive, London Stansted Airport only 30 minutes away. The picture postcard village of Finchingfield is very close. Great for walks with The Bluebell pub just down the road. It is good for couples, solo adventurers, and business travellers.

It's self contained away from the main house with its own garden with decking.
Cereals, bread, milk, fresh orange juice, butter, jams, tea and coffee are all there for you to enjoy. If you would like ingredients left for a cooked breakfast please state this upon booking letting me know if its for one or two of you and how many mornings of your stay you require cooked.
Its a modern kitchen with utensils and appliances provided with lounge area and a flat screen TV.
There is 1 bedroom with a double bed and en-suit bathroom, it has an excellent rain forest shower, no bath bath i'm afraid.
Everything is clean and new as it was only renovated in June this year.
It's light and spacious.
Watch the sun set across the countryside from the decking listening to the birds singing.
Wifi is available at the main house and does reach to the annexe sometimes!!
Guests are left to there own devices but are more than welcome to come and find me at any time.

It's very peaceful and quiet, the noisiest neighbours are the birds you'll hear singing
Afraid we have no public transport out here. Stansted Airport is 30 mins away
If anyone has any special dietary requirements please let me know in advance so I can accommodate for you as I know from experience it's very frustrating not being to able to eat what's available.

Emma made us feel very welcome. It was great to be able to cook our own breakfast when we wanted to and there was plenty of information for places to eat out. The countryside is beautiful around there. Emma was most considerate and we had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. Thank you.

TheresaAugust 2016

This is a lovely self contained B&B on a farm in rural Hertfordshire. We were the first to use it so it was immaculate and had everything that you could possibly need - including a breakfast waiting to be cooked. It has a great comfortable lounge / kitchen and then a lovely double bed and beautiful en-suite. Situated bang in the middle of the Dick Turpin trail, there are some lovely countryside walks and it's a mile down country lanes to the local pub, (The Bluebell and birthplace of Dick T). Visited one afternoon and service, food and beers were spot on and really good value. Emma was the perfect host - very quick to communicate when booking, was there on arrival, showed us everything and left us to it. She really couldn't have done more for us and made us feel so very welcome. I can highly recommend this listing - a great example of the AirBNB community - would love to return.

A lovely little space with very friendly & welcoming hosts. Having breakfast provided but able to cook at our leisure was a nice touch. You are surrounded by beautiful countryside with loads of places to walk. The Bluebell Inn is a comfortable walk away & well worth the effort with great food & a large selection of beers. We'll definitely stay here again when visiting family.

The room is clean and tidy with a great bathroom(one of the best shower system in my opinion). Breakfast is prefect and Jack the dog is adorable as well. Love our stay in here and would love to come again. I would definitely recommend the place not just because it is close to Stansted airport but also because this place is the prefect airbnb.

A great stay - a welcoming host in a lovely village only a few minutes drive from the airport. Thanks Janice!

RobJuly 2016

We just stayed one night before an early flight from Stansted. Therefore it is well suited. You can get to the airport in 15 minutes by car. Our room and breakfast were fine. Janice and her husband are relly nice people and we enjoyed our short stay.

Hatfield forest is at our door step where you can enjoy lovely walks and cycling. Stansted airport is only 1.5 miles away and can be reached by either public transport or taxi.

Perfect spot for our overnight stay from the airport. We had a late check in, but clear and easy instructions were left for us. The room itself was quaint, clean and very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious in the morning! Would definitely recommend and stay here again!

MariamaOctober 2016

Beautiful room located just 10 minutes from Stansted. Had a boutique feel to it, the room was very nicely decorated and the bed was really comfortable. Ling was a very nice host and had everything set up for us as we arrived late. Would definitely stay here again.

EndaJune 2016

I visited Ling with a friend before embarking on a trip abroad. We had a wonderful nights sleep and we couldn't have been more welcomed! As soon as we put foot through the door they knew who we were and our purpose of being there which is the warmest welcome you can receive! Although running late due to traffic, I was able to stay in touch with Ling as she reassured me everything was OK. The village is quite quaint but I was unable to see a lot due to my arrival time of 8pm. I couldn't recommend this establishment high enough! I will be back each time I fly from STN, I may even pop back to take another friend. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay! Jodie& Lauren.

JodieJune 2016

Amazing place to stay. The room is quiet, clean, and cozy. I highly recommend Ling's place.

ShaielaOctober 2016

The room is excellent, very clean and newly renovated. There is nothing to fault. Our diner in the restaurant last night was fantastic, after a month of traveling and eating out in the UK this was by far the best meal we have had and at a reasonable price too. Well done to the new chef.

PaulSeptember 2016

MathildeAugust 2016

It was a beautiful room in a lovely historic building. Everything was perfect. The staff were very kind, answered all of my questions and helped arrange a cab to pick me up in the morning to go to the airport.

Absolutely fantastic stay. Debbie and family made our stay very hospitable and went to all lengths to make us feel welcome. A very nice family. After a mishap with my passport at 5am Debbie was there to give a helping hand. Highly recommend.

Debbie is a wonderful host and made my stay perfect. The apartment was spotless and there was everything I could have wanted in it. A first class experience and if my travels ever take me back to Dunmow I would love to stay again. Thanks Debbie!

ChloeOctober 2016

What a fantastic find this was! From the welcome that Debbie and Ed gave us to departure, we can only say "Go for this 100%". Forget the old tired B and B that one goes too, this is top class accommodation and continental breakfast. If you are flying from Stansted book this. It will get you off to a brilliant start. The rooms were spotlessly clean and modern. The breakfast choice was incredible and Debbie even had a bottle of wine in the fridge for us to purchase! We arrived a little late, tired and hungry. Debbie ordered us a pizza takeaway, with a complimentary drink while we waited for it to be delivered...how's that for service? Thank you both for this gem and we wish you all the best for the future...we will be back!

MarianAugust 2016

Could not have been a better stay. Fantastic host, great private lounge area and very comfortable bed. Lovely shower room. I'd definitely stay again. Thank you Debbie. Highly recommended.

rosemarieJuly 2016

Great very welcoming hosts, Debbie even walked with us in the rain to show us the way to the excellent restaurant they recommended to us for dinner. The apartment was absolutely amazing, even better than the photographs. Have stayed in many B&Bs but this is exceptional, 5* at least!! Excellent continental breakfast beautifully presented with extra touches such as 3 coffee choices including "real",and fresh milk in the fridge. Will definitely use every time we fly from Stansted. Thanks Debbie and Ed, you are great.

MalcolmJune 2016

Debbie and Ed were lovely people. I really enjoy my stay with them as they were very welcoming and made me feel like I was at home and part of the family. Debbie picked me up from the airport and drove me back, which was very kind of her. She also has a lot of good advice about the town and offered a lift for my interview. The house is very lovely too and you can have your own privacy or be part of the family. I therefore really recommend Debbie and Ed's place and wish to come back to see them again.

We had a great time in Kim's house. It's quite clean and cosy. The host is very nice and offered us nice breakfast. Anyway, thank you so much , John and Kim!

SummerJune 2016

Extraordinarily friendly, helpful, energetic & capable hosts, with their own extensive travel experience. Kim & John worked wonders together to make our 2-night stay the best possible. We arrived by train from a hectic but very good day in London, around 9 pm, having missed our evening meal. Kim welcomed us and kindly provided tea, an omelette, & sandwiches, & we sat talking at the beautiful oak dining table. We slept soundly & woke to a choice of oatmeal porridge and other good breakfasr food, and met John who had returned from several weeks moutain climbing & biking. Kim & John explained that our rail plan to London for the day had been interrupted by a storm that night, which stopped all rail traffic by unusual flooding. They worked hard to book us onto an express bus to London, finally sending the ticket to my smartphone. Kim drove us to the bus terminus at the nearby airport (Stansted) where we succeeded in getting on the right bus & had another enjoyable day in London. Returning by train (they were running again), we had a good dinner at a very friendly Indian restaurant. After a second good night's sleep we had breakfast including fine home-made gooseberry jam. John kindly drove us to the station (I was on crutches with bad legs & hips). Best possible experience.

DavidSeptember 2016

Kim and her family were very accommodating. I wasn't sure about the duration of my trip and they were happy to extend my stay on short notice, if required.

ArshingulOctober 2016

Kim and John were great. I arrived very late and they were very understanding. I didn't stay long but the village they are in is very cool, i am hoping to visit again this fall. Thank you again

JamieJune 2016

Kim & John are welcoming and responsive hosts and my brief stay was pleasant. The location is very convenient when arriving/departing from Stanstead. Buses are easy to catch, cheap & frequent. One point to note is that the bathroom is not private - it is situated down the hall from the room and is shared with other guests.

PennyNovember 2016

Lovely people and really nice place to stay. We've been there only for one night but it was a pleasure to stay with them. Area is quiet and beautiful. We had to leave them early but Kim prepared snacks, coffee, tea in our room because it was to early for us to have a breakfast;) They're good hosts! And place is 10 min away from the stansted airport. Really convinient location. We definitely come back there in the future.

AnnaMay 2016

The hosts were amazingly welcoming one from the moment I booked, checking if I needed parking and what time my flights were from the airport. It is easy to access via train and so is the airport by train or bus from the property. The room was perfect, clean with everything you may need as well as a wonderful full bathroom and tv room. There was also wifi should you need it. As I was leaving early I was also given take away breakfast of porridge and brioche to either make in my room with the tea and coffee facilities or take with me for my journey. I wish I had been able to spend longer there as they are a truly fascinating couple! Absolutely faultless. I think this will definitely be my new go to whenever I need to fly out of Stansted.

GemmaJuly 2016

Was exactly what I needed for a short layover in STN. Hadn't slept for over 24 hours so their quiet home was perfect for what I needed, which was sleep. Lovely adventurous couple full of life experiences and great stories.

Had a fantastic stay here. Sharon couldn't do enough for us and got our room ready in super quick time when we booked last minute. The location is great - lovely little village. I would definitely recommend this to other Airbnb users. Everything was very relaxed and we got a great breakfast to send us on our way. Thank you!

I organised a surprise night for one of my best friend's hen do. The experience was amazing and here is the feedback from my friend: "I visited the house on my surprise hen-do, on 16 July 2016. My girlfriends kept their plans to spend the night and have a wonderful dinner (and breakfast) at the Talliston house from me till the very last moment. Bewitched by the atmosphere of the Victorian living room, neighbouring with - what one can only call a country in its own right - a dining room constructed with adoration for minor details, I knew I was in for a treat! The pictures say it all – it is a magical wonderland hidden behind a simple exterior of a boring British suburban architecture. The owners, a creative couple of very lovely chaps, let us wonder around in peace, retreating to a garden barn decorated in a fashion of a Canadian loft for the night. The photo shoot we had with the girls, the lovely breakfast and the beauty of the house will be engraved in my memory for a very long time!"

MarinaJuly 2016

We couldn't have been made more welcome. John was very helpful and looked after us perfectly.

FranAugust 2016

I recommend that everyone stays at Talliston House at least once, it is an amazing experience. Both my husband and I found John and Marcus to be incredibly welcoming and passionate about the house which really enhanced our stay. We came away feeling inspired and wanting to go back for more! The house was clean and breakfast was delicious. Would highly recommend a stay at Talliston.

FionaNovember 2016

This room is truely extra ordinary, a bit like sleeping in a roped off room at a national trust house, but in a semi on a council estate in Essex. Wonderful kind hosts, an extraordinary night, one you won't soon forget.

EdMay 2016

This was my second time at the Haunted Bedroom in Talliston. I accidentally found it in some newspaper's list of the most scary houses in the UK and I wanted to go there straight away. I never regretted my decision since. I wen there the first time and it was amazing. Recently I had a second visit with the group of friends and we had a great time. Every room in the house is made in a different style and feels like you get into a movie and story. The Haunted bedroom is impressive and has its story, you just need to ask John to tell you. During the whole night we spent there, we has the feeling of eery excitement going on, it was one of the most bonding, fun, lively and amazing night with friends ever. 1) We had the whole house for our own, 2) Every room in the house is made in different style and has a story, 3) It feels like you are in another reality, 4) Mega clean and detail orientated, 5) Wakes up your senses and fantasy. Perfect for small groups of friends, who are looking for cultured and not standard dinner party outside London.

Nicola was simply amazing! She made everything easy for us, she was so welcoming and perfect in every aspects! The house was very clean, near to the train station and the city center, easy to reach with the car but quiet and pretty relaxing. Nicola hour host was so nice with us, she gave all we needed and she offered us the dinner. I spent all the night chatting with her and I felt really comfortable. I certainly come back to visit her next time I'll be in London.

silviaAugust 2016

Nicola is a very warm person. She really puts all her heart in making it a pleasant experience. The room was very nicely decorated and it was really cosy. The delicious cup cakes in the room made it complete. Just make sure you have a spare hole in your belt, because she s the best.

BruceNovember 2016

This is a great place to stay in Bishop's Stortford. A lovely room, just as advertised, and Nicola is a great host. Communication before we arrived was quick and helpful, checking-in was easy and we were made to feel completely at home. Great to chat over breakfast! Oh! And homemade cake! What more could you want...

AlasdairSeptember 2016

I had a lovely stay with Nicola and her equally generous mum, Margaret. I stayed with Nicola in the midst of my own chaos (did my last day at work the day before, checked out of my rental house that morning, did viewings for somewhere new to live that evening then flew out on holiday the following day) and throughout all of this Nicola was very welcoming and accommodating in providing just what I needed. She gave me a parking permit for outside her home then showed me where I could park my car for a longer period, her home is stunning and the spare room beautifully decorated. She asked what I wanted for breakfast and got that for me exactly, then walked with me to the train station the following morning. I had an absolutely lovely stay. Thank you!

KrystelJune 2016

A truly lovely lady with a wonderful house who made us feel very welcome. Kind and sincere, the only let down was the fact we only stayed for one night! Thanks again and if we're ever in need in the area again we will be sure to look Nicola up!

Trystan-RossNovember 2016

Nicola made us feel extremely welcome in her home, and could not do enough to ensure that our stay was comfortable. Her home is lovely and very clean and we were able to come and go as we pleased. Our room had absolutely everything you could want for a short stay. Nicola is an excellent baker and we sampled a variety of yummy cakes while we were there. The neighbourhood is very quiet and only a short walk into the town and to the railway station. Nicola is a lovely, kind person and we would not hesitate to recommend her as a first class air b&b host.

PamelaSeptember 2016

Nicola has an easy smile and a cosy, welcoming home. I didn't expect the room to be so spacious - the decor has a lovely vintage feel to it, right down to the tea cups and home made cup cake she left me. The bathroom had a large free standing bath that I had a relaxing soak in. There were crumpets for breakfast , and more choices of cereal that you could ever need. As with most cities, parking was not easily available, but Nichola showed me a spot 3 mins walk away that I could park. This was definitely the best Airbnb experience I have had.

LizaJuly 2016

Nicola is a very lovely hostess who has a super adorable home. She will definitely make you feel comfortable and welcomed. Perhaps, if you are lucky like we were, you will get to taste one of her delicious cakes!
